How This Alternative Couple Saved On Their Wedding

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and — let’s face it — stressful days of your life. So, when costs, guest lists, and endless planning added up for Nathan and Chelsea Hughes, they decided it was time to subtract.

The couple, who met when they were introduced by friends while on the L train in New York City, got engaged this past July and opted for a fairly quick fall wedding set in mid-November.

By aiming to “keep the main thing the main thing” and focus on their marriage instead of the wedding itself, they managed to plan a memorable event while sticking to a minimal budget.
